“The vast majority of Republican members of Congress are pro-life,” Mr. O’Steen said. “Polls show the vast majority of Republican voters are pro-life. These are the same voters, the same party, the same party platform — and that won’t be helpful to Mr. Giuliani.”

Anti-abortion leaders say that if anything, their movement is resurgent — with a round of recent victories in the courts and the state legislatures — and that they are confident it will exert its power in 2008, just as it has in every other presidential campaign for three decades.

If Mr. Giuliani endures, in short, he will be bucking an awful lot of history.

The next question would be, can the GOP survive Giuliani?

I don’t know but if he wins it will be without my vote.

Wonder when Robin will write a similar article about the Democratic party and its reluctance to nominate a Presidential candidate who doesn’t toe their line on abortion.

No.

Also, he has created too much bad will with the base lately.

The GOP? Maybe. Conservatives? Not a chance.

Absolutely not. He’s toast. No way he can back out of it now.

If I ever do cast a vote for Guliani, it will certainly be in a general election and definitely not in a primary. I sincerely hope that it will never come to that.

Der, nope.
Pro-life encompasses so much more than just abortion...It’s about human dignity, responsibility, and family, and connects to everything we conservatives hold dear.

If he hadn’t been such a weasel about his true position on abortion in the past few weeks, he would have more credibility. All this talk about judges like Alito and such.

Now he’s ready to “reveal” his true position. I don’t like his true position but I would have had more respect for him had he just come out and said it from the beginning.

As someone who greatly admires the turn-around New York City experienced under his administration, I am disappointed that he would try to be so much like Hillary from the get-go.

I like Rudy, but the bottom line: Stick a fork in him, he’s done.
